My mother has lived here at Inspired Living since 2023 I am happy, and so is my mother. I would recommend this community to others. I am pleased with the care and my mom feels safe. She has activities all day long and she enjoys the things she goes to. She can participate in as much or as little as she likes to. She loves to sit on the front porch with others.... Read more

My mother in Law resides at Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch. We recently weathered hurricane Irma with Mom. The staff has always been dedicated but they outdid themselves. The organization was superior and the building was secure. [Removed], the on sight leader, marshaled her troops and everyone went calmly about the business of making sure all guests were cared for. Every staff member went above and beyond their own specific jobs because they love the residents. It was truly evident. I would like to personally thank: [Removed] and so many more. This was a well oiled machine of wonderful people.

This is a good care for my mom. We like everything about the community for care the menu has a lot to choose from. We like that they have good activities for her to participate with the other residents. This community has a nice environment. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one.

This new facility is very nice. The apt do not have a full size kitchen. We liked this facility. This is similar to Tuscan Gardens which is closer to our target area. The sales person was very nice.

The food at this community is excellent and the chef comes out to interact with the residents. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful place and they offer daily activities. I would recommend coming to take a look to see if it is the right fit for your loved one

November 2, 2016Thank you for sharing your mom with us and sharing your experience. Your feedback helps us take better care of moms and dads. Our team takes pride in their community and the care they give.
Beautiful new facility, but the care does not seem to be what we were promised. Little to no follow through with the majority of the care staff and nobody really seems to know what is going on with their residents. It is difficult and emotional enough to transition your loved one into assisted living, without the added stress of feeling that he/she is being neglected. This facility has all the bells and whistles, but I feel that the "sales team" did not give us realistic expectations for care. They have these great little bracelets that the residents wear with a door key and a call button. Unfortunately it takes the upwards of 25 minutes for anyone to respond to the call, which I find to be completely unacceptable.

September 23, 2016We sincerely apologize for not meeting your family and your loved ones expectations. It is always our goal to not only meet but exceed. We encourage you to reach out to the Executive Director, Nancy Perry to discuss your concerns so that we can prevent this in the future. Thank you for taking the time to share with us as we know that this time is a difficult one.
Inspired Living is perfect if you're looking for Assisted Living that looks and feels like an upscale hotel. Great location and the staff is excellent. We choose them for the above reasons and they have a nice staffed fitness center. I gave it 4 stars since it's a little pricey and so far we haven't used the activities, hopefully that will change.

July 19, 2016Thank you for the positive feedback, not only about our community but our caring staff. We hope that everyday at Inspired Living is like a vacation at an upscale hotel. We can't wait for you to enjoy all of our activities and encourage you to give us your feedback about them too!
This week, we moved our mom into Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch. She is soon to be 91, is legally blind and hard of hearing, so you can imagine our concern about moving her. Yet, the experience for mom and our family has been far, far better than we could have ever imagined. From the moment I walked into the facility months ago to attend a caregiver education program, through the research of other local facilities, signing of the lease, and the move itself, I have been impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the warmth of everyone we have met. When we finally got mom into her newly designed room, she was HOME! Staff members continually stopped by to introduce themselves, there was assistance at ready to acclimate her to the facility, and they made sure she had someone to sit with at meals so that she did not feel quite so alone. I have to praise Nadine and her wellness and caregiving staff, Hope and the sales team, and the concierge, the meal staff, the chef, the General Manager; all have been as welcoming, warm, and polished as one could possible hope. What a relief to find such a safe, welcoming home for mom. Our family is grateful that mom is now somewhere where she is able to receive the assistance she needs to live as full a life as possible, for as long as she lives. So glad that we found Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch!

June 27, 2016Wow, we are honored to have such great feedback on our community. Someone recently told us we should change our name from Inspired Living to Inspired Loving !! We really do love our residents and strive everyday to make a difference in their lives. We are glad you found us too!!
The staff at Inspired Living LWR is phenomenal! They are very caring and genuinely interested in providing for the specialized needs of each resident. They make family members feel welcome and plan activities to make us feel involved. The brand new facility is lovely and spacious and cleaned and maintained very well. It has state-of-the art technology that allows staff to know immediately if a resident needs assistance. They also have a beautiful, heated pool with a lift chair that not many facilities provide.

June 27, 2016Thanks so much for the high praise! We love taking care of residents and we love to hear that our efforts are paying off.
Mom & Dad absolutely loved this place! It is a new facility, clean and the staff was wonderful. Unfortunately, the price is quite high, and they may not be able to afford it.

June 27, 2016Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated!
I think that they have done extremely well, but I think that because it is a new place that they have some kinks to work out, but they are minor ones. Sometimes the food is very good, sometimes it's not quite as good. I'd say they are doing well though.

November 20, 2015Thank you for your recent review of our Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch community. We agree, as you expressed, that with any new community, there are always those “kinks” that need to be worked out. We are working diligently on any areas that need development since our opening in September. We value the feedback on your dining experience and we will review with our Dining Services director on how our menu quality can be enhanced. We hope you enjoyed the community and look forward to any further feedback you can provide. Have an Inspired Day. Christina Driscoll, Executive Director Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch
